Flexradio 6500 open TX ?

Eli H

Sorry but my Dealer says in the sold communication that the Flexradio 6500 open TX has....
I buy it!
But today i check it.... .but no TRX on 11m (26-27MHz). Give it a way to open the TX mods?

Here in the U.S. the equipment has to be type accepted by the Federal Communications Commission.

Citizens Band equipment has to be channelized, meaning 40 fixed frequencies and limited to 4 watts maximum power on A.M. and 12 watts maximum on SSB. The Flex line of radios does not meet this criteria.

I am guessing in Spain the government agency that regulates CB also has similar restrictions.

This is why Yaesu, Kenwood, Icom, and Elecraft do not allow operation on 11 meters.

Eli where are you located?  make sure the location is correct in the radio setup screen

David Decoons, wo2x

Nope, The radio is not type accepted to operate on 11 meters so it is restricted to amateur bands only. Besides the 6500 has bandpass filters for the amateur bands on receive. Once you are out of the amateur bands the bandpass filters are disabled.

The exception are the MARS frequencies but you must provide proof of eligibility (copy of your military MARS license).

You need a German TURF file. Contact Flex Radio.

11 meter band is not a valid amateur band in Germany.

FlexRadio exports our product as amateur radios.  We do not allow for use on non-amateur bands

[{"insert":"I bought a Flex Radio 6400m yesterday and I have the same problem. Why do I have to be forced to only transmit in ham bands when under my responsibility I should be able to use it wherever I want? In my country CB is legal and Flex Radio denies me the file to be able to transmit out of band\n"}]

Will this topic live forever?

It will live as it is and the CB will be alive throughout our lives. It must be remembered that 90% of old radio amateurs started with CB and that many of us continue to transmit in CB. So it is not understandable that FlexRadio does not allow us under our responsibility to have our team open in TX.
